Our lifestyle has become so busy that stress, unhealthy sleeping habits and bad eating habits have become a part of our daily life. We have forgotten our senses due to work pressure. In the desire to achieve more, we neither get proper sleep at night nor do we take care of our diet. Due to these reasons, many problems like heart related diseases like heart attack, cardiac arrest, heart failure and stroke can occur.

Heart attack can be a life-threatening condition. This happens when the artery carrying blood to the heart gets blocked. Due to this, there is a lack of oxygen in the heart and the heart muscles start dying. Due to the muscles not functioning properly, the heart is unable to pump blood and a heart attack occurs.

##Men! If you know these 4 symptoms, don't be alarmed.. It is a warning sign of this deadly cancer##

Symptoms of Lung Cancer: Cancer is one of the most deadly and life-killing diseases worldwide. There are many types of this cancer. The most common cancer among them is lung cancer. According to the American Cancer Society Journals, more than 18 percent of the world's population is affected by this deadly cancer, with more than 2.2 million new cases each year. Lung cancer occurs when harmful cells grow in the lungs. According to experts, the risk of lung cancer is higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Also, because men smoke more than women in the world, men are more likely to develop this lung cancer than women.

According to experts, cancer usually occurs when cells in a particular part of the body divide and mutate, causing body cells to become damaged and form uncontrollable masses or tumors, disrupting the functioning of organs.

Lung cancer starts in the airways or air sacs. It then begins to slowly spread to the lymph nodes and other organs. This lung cancer also grows like other cancers and exhibits symptoms according to its growth.

Early symptoms of lung cancer

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lung cancer has no symptoms in its early stages. However, as the tumors grow, certain symptoms begin to appear. Those symptoms include:

When you have a cold or have an infection in the respiratory tract, it can cause a cough. But if a person has this cough for several weeks, it could be a sign of lung cancer. Especially if smokers experience chronic cough like this, it should be taken care of immediately without delay.

What type of cough should you consult a doctor for?

• If you cough frequently
• If you cough from the abdomen
• If you cough with a strange sound
• If you cough up blood mixed with mucus
• If you cough up too much mucus If you have these symptoms while coughing, you should go to the doctor without delay and get checked.

shortness of breath

A symptom of lung cancer is shortness of breath. This is because lung cancer can block the airways. And if you notice major changes in breathing, do not take it lightly and consult a doctor immediately.

Body pain

If you have lung cancer, you may experience pain in areas like chest, shoulder or back. This pain may last throughout the day or occur more frequently. And this pain can be sharp, dull or intermittent. If lung cancer has spread to the bones, it can cause this type of pain.

hoarse voice

If there is any sudden change in your voice, i.e. if your voice has been hoarse for a long time, get checked by a doctor without delay. This can also happen due to cold and cough. However, if this symptom persists, there is a high possibility of lung cancer.

Weight loss

Since weight loss is a symptom of many diseases, if you suddenly lose weight and experience the above symptoms, do not panic and immediately consult a doctor and get tested. 

Why is Thailand more popular than the Philippines?

Why is Thailand more popular than the Philippines?

Hi, I’m a Filipino but visited Thailand for vacation and here are the areas I can compare.

1. Infrastructure:

a. TH gov’t really made sure Bangkok is tourist friendly (I cannot speak for other TH areas like Pattaya, Chiang Mai, etc). In their train network and malls, the important signs have English equivalent, and you can easily tell which platform to board even without asking for directions. Train and bus networks are extensive, that it’s easier to get around BKK and go to your intended destination without getting lost. In the streets, the street names are clearly visible, there’s ample pavement for walking, and trees in the streets help clean the air such that there’s less air pollution (there’s still air pollution but not as worse). The only criticism I can think of is there’s plenty of walking when you need to transfer train lines. I personally don’t mind the long walks but those older and/or with hypertension are at high risk. In BKK you will see tourists strolling around with their luggages casually because they feel safe around.

b. PH - there’s almost no adequate infrastructure. MRT and LRT rush hour are chaotic.

Comparing the public transportation of these 2 cities vis-a-vis their population and land area:

Bangkok

Land Area: 1,569 sq km.

Train Lines: 7

Train Stations: 160

Railway length: 242.34 km

Population: 11M

Metro Manila

Land Area: 636 sq. km

Train lines: 3 (+1 if you count PNR which many don’t even know exists)

Train stations: 45 (+22 if you count PNR’s)

Railway length: 16.9km

Population: 14.6M

Conclusion: We’re doomed! And it’s not even a knowledge problem. The knowledge to solve public transport has been lying around. Political will is the bigger problem.

And we’re just at public transportation. We’re not even talking about city design, sustainability, zoning, and the other areas under Urban Planning.

2. Tourist Spots

a. TH - a lot of the country’s tour spots are in Bangkok. Apart from accessibility through public transport, you can tell they invest a lot in preserving centuries-old structures making them look shiny and new. I wasn’t even interested w/ Thai culture and history when I came in there, I just traveled for the sake of traveling. But listening to the tour guides and reading through pamphlets and being fascinated by the details of Buddhist, Hindu, and Thai architecture and history, I was already mesmerized before I knew.

b. PH - we really have to rely on our natural tour spots: beaches and mountains. Our cities suck. They’re not worth visiting unless you’re an expat assigned for work. Metro Manila does have a lot of historic sites and museums that show our country’s heritage and culture, but it’s not worth staying here. If it weren’t for Palawan, Siargao, Boracay, Cebu, our tourism industry’s going to falter.

I haven’t been to Phuket, Pattaya or Chiang Mai, but based on accounts of people who have been there, Philippines has way way better beaches and natural sceneries. But looking at the comparison of foreign tourist arrival in 2023:

TH = 28.15M

PH = 5.5M

Source: Statista

Conclusion: Related to #1, bad infrastructure = low tourism no matter how naturally ‘beautiful’ the country is.

##Do not drink water after eating these foods! There will be many problems!##

Although drinking water is good for health, did you know that you should not drink water after eating certain foods? Otherwise, you may face problems like indigestion, gas, acidity etc.

Drinking water

Some people don't even drink a drop of water while eating. Some drink water for every mouthful. In fact, health experts say to drink as much water as possible during and after meals. Because if you drink water while eating, the food will not be digested properly. Also, you will face many problems. In particular, one should not drink water after eating certain types of food. Let's see what they are in this post.

Peanuts

Many people drink a lot of water before and after eating peanuts. But don't do this. According to health experts, drinking water immediately after eating peanuts can cause problems like cough and sore throat. So drink water immediately after eating peanuts.

Desserts:

If you eat sweets, you will be more thirsty. So everyone who eats sweets immediately drinks water. But if you drink like this, the blood sugar level in your body will rise very much. This can predispose you to type 2 diabetes. So don't drink water immediately after eating sweets.

Fruits

Yes, drinking water immediately after eating fruits is not good for health. In fact, you don't need to drink water after eating fruits. Because every fruit has high water content. But many of us drink water even after eating fruits. However, fruits contain sugar or citric acid. So don't drink water for 45 minutes after you eat fruits.

Ice cream: Many people have a habit of drinking water immediately after eating ice cream. But health experts say don't drink water immediately after eating ice cream. If thirsty, drink water 15 minutes after eating ice cream. There will be no problem.

Coffee, tea

Health experts say that water should not be drunk after drinking hot drinks like tea, coffee or hot milk. Because drinking hot water and then cold water again will cause many problems. In particular, the chances of health problems like gas, acidity and weight gain increase.

Spicy Foods:

If you eat spicy food, you will be very thirsty. We drink water to reduce the irritation that comes after eating it. But if you drink water after eating spicy food, all that irritation will spread throughout your mouth. Also, irritability increases. It can cause stomach discomfort and problems.

Carbonated drinks

Some people definitely drink soda or carbonated water after eating. But drinking these will increase the gas in the stomach. Also, you may face gastric problems. Also, it prevents you from digesting what you have eaten. Overeating: Drinking water immediately after eating a large meal can make you feel like you want to eat more. Also, the stomach will not feel full. Also, it can make you uncomfortable. So do not drink water immediately after eating. Drink water 30 minutes after you eat.
